Ve'Nari's Voice

Ana is a difficult character to master, but worth it if you can.

She’s a healer.
Who heals her team by shooting them with a sniper rifle.
The bullets are filled with an adaptive compound that heals or hurts depending on whether the target is on Ana’s team or not.

Obviously… she spent her youth as a Raid Healer in WoW and just want to shoot everyone for standing in the fire and found a way to do that.

If I remember right she is also Makoto from persona 5, aka best girl. Lucy from fairy tail, and I know there are numerous other roles I can’t think of right this second.

I’ve found I can recognize her voice really quick.

Ah yeah I don’t know any of those lol. I mean duh I know persona but I don’t know it as a fan of it if that makes sense

That’s what happens when a great actor OWNS the role, and elevates it to more than it was ever meant to be.

Happened with Bwonsamdi. Happened with Denathrius.

Nope it does. Persona is a popular franchise, especially since 5 came out, so it makes sense to know of it but not have played it.

Gotta say though. 100% recommend you do. The plot is great, especially in Royal with Kasumi added. Even if you don’t become a fanboi like me it’s a fantastic JRPG. (Assuming you like jrpgs too)

At first I thought she was the actor from The Expanse…my other fave that gives me a chuckles everytime is the little flight guy in Revendreth.

Bwonsamdi! There is another character with a brilliant voice actor that I can’t get out of my head. I was SO happy to see him return for SL.

I associate the store I work for with the MAW and yeah, her voice does get stuck in my head from time to time. So does the Jailer when things are heating up. “There is no escape.”

That is exactly the face that came to mind when I first met Ve’Nari! Glad I’m not the only one.

Do not DRO the jailers eye!

They didn’t actually expect his role to be that big, but when they heard the actor perform, they realized they had something really special, and they accommodated to grow his role.

The same exact thing happened with Sire Denathrius. Ray Chase nailed it so hard, that they changed the story so we DIDN’T kill him, but imprisoned him instead, just to bring him back later.

I think it’s great that Blizzard has that flexibility to not be stuck to a roadmap like it was set in stone.

And Cho in Mists and Runas in Legion.

Usually at least one VA who really makes a stand out performance every expansion.

The most I know of it was when Super Best Friends Play did videos about it. People made My Little Pony animations with their audio from those videos and it was pretty funny.

Same voice actor for both :wink:

Ven’ari really didn’t register for me, and for the longest time, I had no idea which Broker they were talking about, because they all sounded male. Then I realized it was the one who introduces us to Torghast. I guess I forgot she was a broker, since I had stopped questing when I got to doing things for Necrolords to work on alts.

For me, it’s probably

  • Laura Bailey as Jaina
  • Jennifer Hale as Elisande
  • Claudia Christian as Lady Liadrin
  • Karen Strassman as Vanessa VanCleef
  • Debra Wilson as Draka
  • Ellie Kendrick as Taelia
  • Salli Saffioti as Thalyssra
  • Maria Angelico as the Winter Queen

Shout outs to the dudes that crush it, like Matt Mercer as Rexxar, Chris Metzen as Thrall, Jonathan Adams as Xuen, Ray Chase as Denathrius, Josh Keaton as Anduin, Aaron Phillips as Wrathion, Alex Désert as Bwonsamdi, Cam Clarke as Marileth (and the Blood Elf Male since TBC),

I love that Scott Menville has so many voices across WoW, now, from the Revendreth mini-gargoyles, to mechagnomes, etc, and now Khary Payton is in Exile’s Reach for Alliance. When does Tara Strong get a prominent character? Hynden? Greg? Teen Warcraft GO!

Yep, because Dio’s English VA alsdo voices Garrosh. You can really hear it whenever Dio gets really tense and starts yelling lol
